A 57-year-old male patient of chronic kidney disease on maintenance hemodialysis via right radio-cephalic fistula presented with swelling of his right arm and right half of face and headache. With the clinical suspicion of central venous obstruction he underwent venogram of right upper limb. A stenosis was found in right brachiocephalic vein. He underwent a percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty and his symptoms improved substantially. Birdem Med J 2019; 9(1): 82-84

The objectives of central venous percutaneous transluminal angioplasty are to dilate the venous lesion and to extend the life of arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis. It is reasonable to perform percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for central venous lesions if this interventional therapy is required to maintain stable dialysis therapy. However, the presence of large fresh thrombus at central venous lesion site represents a contraindication to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty unless the thrombus can first be removed by thrombectomy. Balloon angioplasty is a basic treatment for central venous lesion, but stent implantation is sometimes required. The self-expandable or balloon-expandable stent is chosen by the lesion location and characteristics. The lesion in subclavian vein is generally treated by self-expandable stent and right brachiocephalic vein is treated by balloon-expandable stent. The organic lesion of innominate vein with plaque is treated by self-expandable stent. Note that the innominate venous stenosis is sometimes caused by compression between the right brachiocephalic artery and the sternum, and this lesion is treated by balloon-expandable stent because the radial force of balloon-expandable stent is stronger than self-expandable stent. It is important to understand the indication and stent selection for central venous percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.

Abstract Background and Aims Central Venous Obstruction (CVO) is one of the major causes of morbidity in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients on maintenance Hemodialysis (HD). The aim of the study was to assess the patterns of CVO and the role of Endovascular interventions to restore the patency of vascular access in patients on HD with CVO. Method We report 15 cases of CVO in HD patients between April 2015 to April 2018. Data regarding patients’ basic information, primary disease, dialysis duration, access at initiation, number and sites of central venous catheterizations, vascular segments stenosed or thrombosed, type of endovascular interventions done and outcomes were collected from electronic record system. Results Out of 15 cases of CVO, 11 had the first dialysis with a temporary catheter either to Internal Jugular vein or femoral vein. The average time of presentation to our hospital from initiation of dialysis was 14.8 months. 8 patients presented with symptomatic SVC obstruction. The most common site of CVO was left Brachio-cephalic vein followed by right brachio-cephalic, right subclavian and left subclavian vein. 12 patients underwent Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) and 3 required bare metal stenting (BMS) along with PTA. One patient required repeat PTA after 4 months. 11 patients did not require further procedure in the mean follow up period of 110 days. PTA was found to be successful in 11 out of 12 cases. Post PTA 9 patients underwent tunneled HD catheter insertion. Conclusion Patients of CKD who present late to the nephrologists require HD to be initiated through temporary catheters to central veins. Repeated central venous catheterization is associated with CVO. Endovascular intervention is an effective modality for maintaining HD access patency in such cases.

The objective is to compare Multi-detector CT angiography (MDCTA) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in diagnosing hemodialysis catheter related-central venous stenosis (CVS). During a period of 6 years, hemodialysis patients with suspected catheter related-CVS who received both MDCTA and DSA were retrospectively enrolled. We analyzed the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, Cohen’s kappa coefficient (κ) and other diagnostic parameters for MDCTA compared to DSA. A total of 1533 vascular segments in 219 patients were analyzed. Among the 280 lesions identified by DSA, 156 were correctly identified by MDCTA. There were 124 false negative and 41 false positive diagnoses. MDCTA had a high specificity (96.73%) but a low sensitivity (55.71%), with a moderate inter-test agreement (κ = 0.5930). In stratified analyses of vascular segments, the specificities of MDCTA were 89.93% (superior vena cava), 98.95% (left brachiocephalic vein), 95.33% (right brachiocephalic vein), 99.53% (left subclavian vein), 97.61% (right subclavian vein), 97.13% (left internal jugular vein), and 95.86% (right internal jugular vein), while the sensitivities were 90.00%, 65.52%, 66.67%, 87.50%, 40.00%, 20.00% and 8.11%, respectively. Good to excellent inter-test agreement was observed for the superior vena cava (κ = 0.7870), left brachiocephalic vein (κ = 0.7300), right brachiocephalic vein (κ = 0.6610), and left subclavian vein (κ = 0.8700) compared with poor to low agreement for the right subclavian vein (κ = 0.3950), left internal jugular vein (κ = 0.1890), and right internal jugular vein (κ = 0.0500). MDCTA had a high specificity in diagnosing hemodialysis catheter related-CVS. Its sensitivity varied by central venous segments, with better performance in superior vena cava and brachiocephalic veins.
